Trump Media sues WaPo for defamation

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) filed a lawsuit in a Florida civil court against The Washington Post, allegedly claiming the media outfit defamed the company in one of its articles. The firm is seeking $3.78 billion in damages.

The news firm, also referred to as WaPo, allegedly “published an egregious hit piece that falsely accused TMTG of securities fraud and other wrongdoing.” The said article, released on May 13, 2023, was claimed to be reported in concert with a former TMTG employee.

“WaPo has been on a years-long crusade against TMTG characterized by the concealment of relevant information in its possession—a bitterly ironic truth for a publication whose motto is ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’,” TMTG said in its filing. “WaPo’s latest defamation creates an existential threat for TMTG, causing enormous loss.”
